April 19, 2006Joe’s Code

Filed under: The PowerPhrase of the Week by merylrunion |

Joe developed a concrete code for successful living. It goes like this:

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

If it doesn’t feel good don’t do it.

Slow down and refinement occurs. Speed up and coarseness occurs.

Less is more.

You’re as strong as your weakest muscle.

There are exceptions to all the principles.

I like Joe’s code, largely because each idea is short and very to the point.

  1. My personal code:

    No legacy is so rich as honesty and integrity

    Treat everyone with respect no matter what thier social/economic
    standing, until they do something by thier words or actions that they
    no longer deserve your respect.

  5. I love all these codes.

    Mine is: Dream of being the person you want to be, then BE that person.

  6. I enjoyed all the codes! I like a saying I heard a long time ago:

    “A snail leaves a residue behind, what kind of residue are you going to leave?”
